Australia's population nudged over the 21 million mark in June this year. For the first time in years the annual birthrate is looking healthy at 1.85 babies per woman in the country.
Now some might say that the baby bonus encouraged a few more pregnancies. But I think that more people switched off the tellie to escape those long and boring federal government ads which ran during the last year of the Howard Government, and found much better things to do with their time than be alert and alarmed.
